J & L lost everything in a hurricane, and what few belongings they had left, they stored in their car. Struggling financially, the car was repossessed, but Love INC partners were able to help them get their car and belongings back, just in time for them to move into their new housing.

R & M had to move when their landlord was forced to sell the condo they were living in and they could not afford to buy it. They had to stay past the end of the lease, but couldn't afford the additional payment because of putting up so much money to move into a new place. Love INC partners were able to step in and help cover the difference.

S was pregnant with baby #2, and living in her car. One of our church partners threw her a baby shower for some much needed items, and several agencies were involved in trying to find her housing. She was able to secure temporary housing for a few months, until her baby was born and she could return to work.

Neighbor in Need requests met in 2024

The needs in our community are overwhelming. Have you found yourself wanting to help, but not knowing how? Or not wanting to make a bad situation worse by enabling a cycle of need? That’s where we come in. We have trained compassionate staff and volunteers who listen to the needs of our neighbors and offer them hope, encouragement, and opportunities for change.

Uniting our community to provide HOPE and HELP to those who need it

Below are the types of programs and assistance available through Love INC of Southwest Florida.

Pathways Program

We desire for every neighbor to grow and flourish in their God-given purpose and design. To that end, we offer one-on-one mentoring that pairs caring volunteers with neighbors to develop goals in six significant life areas to lead them on a pathway to sustainability and success.

Financial Assistance

There are a variety of reasons why people get behind. That's why we offer financial assistance along the way*, to those who are willing to participate in a journey toward their own recovery and success.

*Certain criteria apply. Not everyone is eligible for financial assistance.

Material Assistance

Whether it be food, clothing, furniture, or various other needs, we can connect you to churches, agencies, organizations, and people that can help you find what you're looking for.

Network
Classes

Several of our network churches and organizations offer classes and programs each semester. Things like ESL, computer skills, Bible studies, relational seminars. We'd be happy to enroll you in any of these ever changing offerings, based on the issues you're facing in your life.
